'Truth' and 'Falsewood' may be predicated of propositions but never of arguments
In the case of deductive argument, the technical terms 'correct' and 'incorrect' are used
Inductive arguments are neither valid nor invalid but evaluated as better or worse
The conclusion of a deductive argument follows from its premises necessarily

Answer 1

The correct response is In the case of deductive argument, the technical terms 'correct' and 'incorrect' are used.

There are two types of arguments:

Key Points

Deductive:

A deductive argument is one that the arguer intends to be deductively valid, that is, to ensure the veracity of the conclusion under the condition that the premises are true.
In a deductive argument, the premises are meant to support the conclusion so strongly that, if the premises are true, it would be impossible for the conclusion to be wrong.
In the case of deductive argument, the technical terms 'correct' and 'incorrect' are used

Important PointsInductive:

An inductive argument is one in which the arguer intends to be strong enough that it would be unlikely that the conclusion is wrong if the premises were true.
In contrast to deductive arguments, the effectiveness or strength of an inductive argument can therefore vary.
Inductive arguments are neither valid nor invalid but evaluated as better or worse

Additional Information

An inductive argument can be affected by acquiring new premises (evidence), but a deductive argument cannot be.
The argument is deductive if the arguer thinks that the truth of the premises unquestionably establishes the validity of the conclusion.
The argument is inductive if the arguer thinks that the truth of the premises only gives solid grounds for thinking the conclusion is probably true.

Hence. in the case of deductive argument, the technical terms 'correct' and 'incorrect' are used is an incorrect statement.
